Alex is on his American Adventure so Tim Smith takes over and will be playing great music including Record and Album of the Week, plus Pause For Thought at 3.20am.

Alex may be away on his American adventure, but there will be no slipping of standards with Tim Smith keeping the throne warm. Tim asks, which item in your wardrobe can you simply not part with? There is an early R.E.M. track from the Listener's Library, a U2 song to celebrate Bono's birthday, a track by The Big Dish from the Smith Family Archive, a track from the new Album of the Week by Eli "Paperboy" Reed and a new Record of the Week by Rick Astley. Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
